Leg Length Discrepancy In Scoliotic Patients
2012The aetiological aspects as well as postural attitude implications represent an open question in scoliosis evaluation and treatment. Leg length discrepancy (LLD) is often recognised in scoliotic patients, but surprisingly still controversial is the use of underfoot wedge corrections in order to compensate pelvis tilt.

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1986
The proper management of LLD requires careful clinical and radiologic assessment, and repeated analysis of past growth in order to predict future growth. Treatment decisions must be re-evaluated constantly in the light of new leg length data and evolving surgical technique.

LEG LENGTH DISCREPANCY IN MARATHON RUNNERS
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1983The incidence and degree of leg length discrepancy was studied in 35 male marathon runners. Seventy- seven percent were in their 30s or 40s. Eighteen run ners had a length difference of less than 5 mm, 10 had a difference of 5 to 9 mm, and 7 had differences of 1.0 cm or greater. Four of the five runners using a lift had less than a 5-mm discrepancy. It

Leg-length discrepancy measured by ultrasonography
Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1991Leg-length discrepancy was determined by real-time ultrasonography (ultrasound) in 45 patients, and the measurements were compared with those of erect-posture radiography. A special device for holding and moving the ultrasound transducer was constructed, and the leg length was measured as the highest level of the femoral head in the standing position ...

Pediatric Leg Length Discrepancy
Orthopaedic Nursing, 1999Leg length discrepancies have multiple causes with a number of treatment options available to accomplish a goal of equal or near equal leg lengths at skeletal maturity. The management of a deformity in the lower extremity can be a complex undertaking requiring the skill and expertise of a multidisciplinary health care team.

Growth arrest and leg-length discrepancy
Pediatric Radiology, 2013Identification of congenital and acquired etiologies causing alignment disorders and leg-length discrepancies (LLD) in children is important for management. Minor differences in the lengths of the lower extremities are considered a normal variation and usually have no clinical significance.

Percutaneous epiphysiodesis for leg length discrepancy
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, Part B, 2003This study presents a retrospective evaluation of 57 patients who underwent a percutaneous epiphysiodesis for leg length discrepancy. Of these patients, 68.5% presented with a good result with a final leg length discrepancy of less than 1.5 cm, 14% with a fair result with a discrepancy of between 1.5 and 2 cm, and 17.5% showed a poor result with a leg ...

Leg length discrepancy in the professional dancer
Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, 1995Minor leg length discrepancies may not pose much of a problem in the general population, but in the dance population they should not be overlooked as a predisposing factor in overuse syndromes commonly found among dancers. The popular treatment of prescribing lift therapy is often inappropriate in this population as the patient may not wear a shoe ...

Skeletal Age Estimation in Leg Length Discrepancy
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1988Sixty hand radiographs of children with known leg length discrepancy were reported independently in a "blind" manner by four radiologists using the Greulich and Pyle Atlas. Significant variation was found. Fifty percent of the children were assigned a skeletal age that differed by more than 1 year between radiologists; 10% varied by more than 2 years ...
